Illiana
Illiana Origin and Meaning
Illiana is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may be a variant of Iliana, which has Slavic and Greek roots meaning 'light' or 'bright one.' It could also be an elaboration of Liana or a combination of the popular 'Illi' prefix with the name Anna. In Hispanic communities, it sometimes appears as a variation of Eliana. Illiana carries a flowing, melodic quality that contributes to its ethereal appeal. While not among the most common names, it has maintained steady usage particularly in Eastern European countries and among families seeking names with cross-cultural appeal. The doubled 'l' adds a distinctive visual element, while the name's musical rhythm and positive associations with light make it an appealing choice for parents seeking something elegant yet accessible.
